On the Shortlist at ASIM

Just got an email from ASIM that my story “Woman is Cipher is Woman” has now made it to the third round, also known as the shortlist. At this point, it’s in the hands of editors, who are trying to find a place for it in one of their upcoming issues. According to the email, about 1 in 3 submissions make it from this point to full publication, so it’s not a sure thing, but it is encouraging. Also, they said that they’ll contact me within two to three months, so it may be a while before I hear again on this. I’ll post an update as soon as I know more.
